"South Carolina Baptists 1670-1805" by Leah Townsend, printed by the Florence Printing Company in 1935, lists a George TIMMONS, Ann BONNEAU and several ELLIOTT's as members of a Particular Baptist Church at Stono in 1736. Apparently, the church had been doctrinely divided for years between General and Particular Baptists, but had meet in harmony until a Rev. Robert Ingram stirred up the Calvinist Particular Baptists and they split. From what I can find on the Particular Baptist, they were started in England about 1633 and believed in predestination and did not believe in infant baptism (much like the Huguenot's). Any idea who the Rev. SIMMONS who testified before the Commons House about the split? The notes list the source as Edwards, Crozer MS, but does not list this source in the Bibliography. Does MS mean manuscript? Is this manuscript at Furman? According to the notes, the Stono church was on the Stono River in St. Andrews parish. Any idea where that is? There seems to be a Stono below Charleston near James Island Park and West from there, a Stono Point. Ray

I have been sorting through the Pouncey lineage, and suddenly have more questions than answers. Is anyone working on this family? There are links to the John family, and I am interested to know how. Charity, the only known daughter of the first Anthony to Marlboro Co. ca. 1749, supposedly married a Mr. John. Her brother, Anthony, Jr. left property to a Jesse John sometime after the REv. War period. He also left most of his estate to his brother, Samuel's sons. The Pouncey family lived on the border of Marlboro & Marion Counties, so legal papers have been recorded in both counties. Their home was just above the Cashway Ferry area. The family eventually married into several other prominent families in the area. Would be interested in hearing from anyone with information on this lineage. Joanne Harley [email protected]
